NEW YORK -- Five days after he was traded, Andrew Miller was back at Yankee Stadium with the Cleveland Indians.Its kind of weird, the reliever said before Fridays series opener. Its not the most exciting thing to pitch against these guys after playing with them for the last year and a half.Miller signed a $36 million, four-year contract with the Yankees before the 2015 season, saved 36 games, then was bumped back to the eighth inning for much of this year after the Yankees acquired Aroldis Chapman from Cincinnati.Miller formed the Yankees No Runs DMC bullpen trip with Chapman and Dellin Betances. The T-shirts the Yankees had been selling for $39.99 were gone from the stadium team stores Friday,It was neat. Ive never been part of a marketing effort, I dont think, Miller said.With the Yankees record around .500, they traded Chapman to the Chicago Cubs for three prospects and pitcher Adam Warren on July 25, then dealt Miller six days later to the AL Central leaders for four prospects.I think CC made it a lot easier on me, Miller said in a reference to Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, who pitched for the Indians from 2001-08. I went by the clubhouse and was packing my bags, and he told me I was going to love it and the people and the organization were great, the city was great, this and that. He put me in contact with a couple people ... and I think that kind of eased things a little and took a little bit of the nerves out of it.Miller, a 31-year-old left-hander, joined his sixth big league team. He pitched for Detroit (2006-07), Florida (2008-10), Boston (2011-14) and Baltimore (2014) before signing with New York.Obviously were all excited to see him, but maybe not so excited to see him in a game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Its a guy that impacted our clubhouse and our team in a year and a half as much as anyone Ive ever seen.Girardi praised Miller for his willingness to say, `Ill step down. I dont need to close. Lets just do whatever it takes to win here.Millers young son Max will miss playing in the Yankee Stadium family room. But dad already has adjusted to life after the Yankees. He was unshaven.Its more just me being lazy. I think Im not a huge fan of shaving, he said. If I dont have to, I probably wont very often. But its not any sort of statement or anything.Game notes Cleveland recalled left-hander Shawn Morimando from Columbus and optioned left-hander Ryan Merritt and infielder Eric Gonzalez to the Triple-A farm team.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Canadian lawyer who accused Russia of operating a state-run doping program is facing a deluge of requests for information on individual athletes implicated in his investigation.Richard McLaren, who was commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, issued a report that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping among Olympic athletes in more than two dozen summer and winter sports.The IOC rejected calls by WADA and other anti-doping bodies to ban Russias entire Olympic team from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Instead, the International Olympic Committee asked individual sports federations to determine which Russian athletes would be cleared to compete.My office has been inundated with requests for information on individual athletes, McLaren said in a statement released late Friday from London, Ontario. The (IOC) decision has resulted in a deluge of requests to provide information to the IFs (international federations); Russian national federations; the Russian Olympic Committee; the Russian Paralympic Committee and individual Russian athletes.McLaren said he has provided information to WADA that names athletes whose urine samples were part of a state-run cover-up.WADA in turn has shared this information with IFs, he said.More than 100 Russian athletes have been barred from the games so far -- including the track and field team banned by the IAAF and more than 30 athletes excluded by other federations since the release of McLarens report. Russias entire weightlifting team was kicked out Friday.Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said Friday that 272 of the countrys original 387-strongg team had been approved by international sports federations to compete in Rio.ddddddddddddThe IOC has said that any Russian athlete with a prior sanction for doping would not be allowed into the games. Anyone implicated in McLarens report would also be excluded, the IOC said.McLaren said his mandate has been extended to finish the investigation and identify any further athletes that might have benefited from such manipulation to conceal positive doping tests.Until now, he said, the focus of his investigation was to look into evidence of a state-dictated program which used the Moscow and Sochi laboratories to cover up doping.It has not been to establish anti-doping rule violation cases against individual athletes, McLaren said, adding that it was not his job to process doping cases against individual athletes.I have, however, received a considerable amount of reliable evidence, which clearly implicates individual athletes in the state-dictated program described in the report, he said. That evidence includes documents supported by the testimony of confidential witnesses and in some cases additional forensic and analytical evidence from the examination of sample bottles and their contents.McLaren said his ongoing investigation includes developing evidence which may be used in the future to sanction individual athletes.At this stage, I will not release any of the specific information I currently have concerning any athletes, he said. To do so would compromise the ongoing investigation. ' ' '
